Unpleasant family reunion
Shortly after the meeting with the YJLA, Rose pulled Dex aside and asked him if he'd go with her to check on her grandma and younger brother, Jimmy, before they went with the rest of the Lanterns to look for Larfleeze and the orange rings. Normally, she would just go by herself, but with her ring not working properly, and Black Lanterns running amok, she felt it was only wise to have someone else along.

"I'll make this quick," Rose said to Dex as they reached her apartment building in Suicide Slums in Metropolis. "I just want to check up on Grandma and Jimmy real quick."

	"Take as much time as you need," Dex said as he followed. This was a bad area of Metropolis and Dex didn't like it that Rose's grandmother and younger brother was living here. He made a mental note to take care of things after this mess was over. (Reply to this)(Thread)
